This morning's poem is taken from Dictionary.com's word of the day. Today's word is anoesis. Pronounced an-oh-EE-sis, it is a noun meaning a state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion with no cognitive context. You can read more about today's word here.
En Route
Car rides, dark nights,
Headlights, windshield wipes,
The rain knocking at my window
Drowns my mind in mindless thought
Funny,
I think more clearly when the clouds hang low
And there's no sun to see me
The water drowns me with anoesis
My sanctuary is my car and my thoughts are my thesis
Steering wheel gripped,
Radio does not interrupt
The pounding of the rain is my beat
The splash of my tires are my symphony
Lost in my thoughts until the car and my destination meet
23 miles of emotions, meditations, repentance and transgressions
Spilling myself in between white and yellow lines
On top of black concrete, the blood washes me
No wonder rain seems to purify me.
